Hi everybody...iln response to Doug, as I said earlier, for some reason Columbus seems to be more tuned in to the Canadian scene than other places in the U.S. It has been very good for me, since I miss so many Canadian friends/places, etc. The reaction of my students to the referendum (and it has been a featured story in our student newspaper several times lately) has been interesting. Most of them are shocked that any group could think of "secesssion," which was at one point a very real possibility in the U.S. but now seems more or less out of the question --or simply NOT a question to them. One of the students reported that Rush Limbaugh had gone on a tear against Quebec last night, saying that the U.S. must be all English or we would end up "another Canada." (He thought that was a denigrating thing to say!!). At any rate, I am reading all ofyour comments avidly and wondering what oh what will happen in the next year or so. Best to everyone, Andrea
